Karnataka PG 2025 Round 3 Final Result: Provisional vs Final Cut-off & What Students Should Do Next

The Karnataka PG Medical Round 3 counselling went through a lot of uncertainty due to the court case and petitions.
Round 3 was stuck for many days, and students were confused about what would finally happen.

Now:

Provisional result (old list) was released earlier
Final result has now been published after court intervention

In this blog, we will:

Compare Provisional vs Final cut-offs (where change is significant)
See which government and private colleges saw major changes
Understand how OK quota (higher fee seats) was affected
Explain what students should do now (payment + reporting dates)

1️⃣ Background: Why Was Round 3 Stuck?

Multiple petitions were filed in court regarding Karnataka PG Round 3
Because of that, the matter got delayed and provisional allotment was under question
After court observation and directions, a fresh final Round 3 result has now been published

Now the key question is:
👉 How much difference is there between the earlier provisional cut-offs and the new final cut-offs?

Let’s see.

2️⃣ Government Quota Seats – Provisional vs Final Cut-off Changes

The final list shows some colleges with major score changes, while many others have minimal difference (1–2 marks).

🔹 Shyamaraj Nagar Institute of Medical Sciences

Provisional cut-off: 393
Final cut-off: 459
Change: +66 marks (significant increase)

This shows that after re-processing and corrections, higher scoring candidates finally occupied these seats.

🔹 Mysore Medical College (Government)

Provisional cut-off: 540
Final cut-off: around 400 (approx., large drop mentioned)
Change: About 140 marks lower

Here, the cut-off dropped sharply, which indicates that the original provisional allotment changed significantly after court intervention and reshuffling.

🔹 Belagavi Institute of Medical Sciences

In the provisional list, there was no allotment for a particular seat.
In the final list, a new seat appeared with cut-off 396.

This means that one extra government seat effectively became available in the final processing.

🔹 Hassan Medical College

Provisional cut-off: 419 (as per list dated 24/10)
Final cut-off: 393
Change: −26 marks

A moderate downfall in cut-off, giving a chance to slightly lower scorers.

For other government medical colleges, there were either no changes or very small differences (1–2 marks), so they don’t impact overall planning much.

3️⃣ Private Medical Colleges (Lower Fee Segment) – Key Changes

Now let’s talk about private colleges where fees are comparatively lower and second-category students are also allowed.

Again, we only focus on places where double-digit changes are seen.

🔹 Kempegowda Institute

Provisional cut-off: 518 (example from narration – rank/score high)
Final cut-off: 475
Change: Around 43 marks drop

🔹 Dr B.R. Ambedkar Medical College

Provisional cut-off: 511
Final cut-off: 503
Change: −8 marks (small but noticeable)

🔹 S. Nijalingappa Medical College

Provisional cut-off: 488
Final cut-off: 465
Change: −23 marks

🔹 East Point Medical College

Provisional cut-off: 487
Final cut-off: 464
Change: −23 marks

🔹 Siddaganga Medical College

Provisional cut-off: 481
Final cut-off: 464
Change: −17 marks

🔹 Farooqia / Farooq Academy of Medical Education

Provisional cut-off: 448
Final cut-off: 395
Change: About −53 marks

🔹 P.E.S. Academy

Provisional cut-off: 426
Final cut-off: 374
Change: −52 marks

🔹 Kanachur Medical College

Provisional cut-off: 416
Final cut-off: 395
Change: −21 marks

🔹 Adichunchanagiri Institute of Medical Sciences

Provisional cut-off: 323
Final cut-off: 235
Change: −88 marks (very big drop)

This is one of the largest falls in cut-off, clearly showing the impact of reshuffling and upgradation.

🔹 AJ Institute (Mangaluru)

Provisional cut-off: 278
Final cut-off: 259
Change: −19 marks

🔹 Sri Madhusudan / related private institute

Provisional cut-off: 256
Final cut-off: 238
Change: −18 marks

📌 Conclusion for Private Lower-Fee Colleges:
In many private institutions, cut-offs dropped, opening opportunities for students with lower scores to get seats in Round 3 after the final result.

4️⃣ Higher Fee Category – Big Downfalls in Cut-off

Now let’s look at the higher fee seats.

Here, the variation is even more visible, mainly because:

Many students got cheaper private seats in lower fee category
Those students upgraded, leaving seats vacant and forcing cut-offs down

Some key examples:

🔹 Raichur Institute

Provisional cut-off: 289
Final cut-off: 269
Change: −20 marks

🔹 Kempegowda

Provisional cut-off: 273
Final cut-off: 246
Change: −27 marks

🔹 Dr B.R. Ambedkar

Provisional cut-off: 263
Final cut-off: 238
Change: −25 marks

🔹 Al-Ameen Medical College

Provisional cut-off: 324
Final cut-off: 238
Change: −86 marks

This is one of the highest downfalls in the segment.

Similar downfalls in cut-off were also seen in:

Siddaganga
Vydehi
BGS Global
Dr Chandramma
Sri Chamundeshwari
Sapthagiri
Navodaya
Subbaiah
Adichunchanagiri
Akash
Shamanur and others

In some colleges (like Khwaja Bande Nawaz), cut-offs increased slightly, because student interest was high, so more high scorers preferred those colleges.

Overall, however, the dominant trend is decrease in cut-off.

5️⃣ What This Means for Students

✅ Lower-scoring students got a chance in Round 3 because:

Many high scorers upgraded from costlier seats to cheaper seats
Fresh processing after court directions reshuffled many allotments
In both private lower-fee and high-fee, cut-offs went down in multiple colleges

This is clearly beneficial for students, especially those who were on the borderline.
